Definitions

  • the invention relates to a delivery vehicle, in particular a manned or unmanned electric delivery vehicle, for delivering goods, in particular food products, in delivery boxes, with a loading area, and with at least one frame holding several delivery boxes, which is held positioned on the loading area and for picking with the delivery boxes can be removed from the loading area again, with the delivery boxes each occupying a position in the frame predetermined by the picking, with the picking also being predetermined in whole or in part using a control unit, and with the picking specifying a position occupancy plan for all delivery boxes in the frame.
  • Delivery vehicles for the transport of goods and in particular for the delivery of goods are known in a variety of designs.
  • the delivery vehicles can conventionally be powered by combustion engines.
  • electric motors and accumulators are increasingly being used as an energy source because, on the one hand, local regional delivery is favored and, on the other hand, electric delivery vehicles can easily be used in pedestrian zones, traffic-calmed areas, etc.
  • the delivery of goods with electric delivery vehicles involves practically no emissions, either in terms of noise or local combustion gases, so that such electric delivery vehicles are highly accepted.
  • a trolley can be positioned.
  • the trolley or the frame provided in this way is also suitable in the broadest sense for holding one or more delivery boxes.
  • the frame can also be removed from the loading area or positioned and held on it.
  • the state of the art has fundamentally proven itself when it comes to transmitting goods, for example in an associated delivery box, to customers or delivery destinations using the individual delivery vehicles described.
  • the loading of the frame or the loading area of the known delivery vehicles is nowadays predominantly still done randomly or is carried out by the driver, for example by sorting the delivery boxes or goods on the loading area according to the order of arrival of the individual customers or destinations according to their own taste.
  • such an approach does not take into account the driving dynamics of the delivery vehicle and any changes in operation as well as specific requirements at the delivery location or destination.
  • the goods or delivery box is in a position on the loading area from which it can be removed only with difficulty or with considerable effort on the part of the driver.
  • the invention is based on the technical problem of providing such a delivery vehicle, which during operation shows a reduced risk of accidents compared to the prior art and offers ergonomic improvements for the driving staff.
  • a particularly suitable method for delivering goods using such a delivery vehicle should be made available.
  • a generic delivery vehicle is characterized in the context of the invention in that the control unit specifies the position occupancy plan based on master data for the goods to be delivered as well as master data for the customers receiving the goods, with additional construction data of the delivery vehicle being taken into account, namely the location of its center of gravity in an unloaded state, and the position occupancy plan with the highest priority is drawn up so that the delivery boxes with the greatest weight occupy the position closest to the center of gravity in the position occupancy plan.
  • the term control unit is to be interpreted broadly according to the invention.
  • control unit is a computer with associated software. This can also receive and exchange data via a computer network, such as the Internet.
  • a computer network such as the Internet.
  • master data for all goods to be delivered as well as for customers are stored or available in the control unit.
  • the master data about the goods usually contains information about the type of goods, their weight, the associated container size, any expiry date, the price of the goods, etc.
  • the master data about the customers to be contacted includes all of them Data required in the context, for example the contact person, the exact destination, any topological peculiarities of the destination, any restrictions on the delivery time at the destination, etc.
  • picking criteria can be developed and derived within the framework of an algorithm stored in the control unit, which ultimately specifies a position allocation plan for all delivery boxes in the frame.
  • the control unit is typically provided and placed at the location of a goods distribution center as a picking location and at this point specifies the position occupancy plan for all delivery boxes within the delivery vehicle in question. Delivery to individual customers then takes place from the goods distribution center. The delivery takes place as part of distribution logistics from the goods distribution center according to the so-called “milkman principle”. Overall, an attempt is made to reduce transport costs by optimizing the route determination of the delivery vehicle.
  • the focus is also on increasing safety with regard to the driving dynamics of the delivery vehicle in question, as well as improved ergonomics for the driver.
  • the design according to the invention is such that the previously mentioned picking specifies the position occupancy plan for all delivery boxes in the frame.
  • the position occupancy plan of the delivery boxes on the loading area is specified in the framework, for all of them Delivery boxes.
  • the picking and the resulting position allocation plan are - as described - specified using the control unit.
  • the position occupancy plan of the delivery boxes is created within the framework depending on one or more picking criteria.
  • the picking criteria are derived from the master data of the goods and customers as well as construction data of the delivery vehicle.
  • the interpretation is such that the picking criteria according to the invention are the weight of the delivery box, the order of unloading the delivery box, the destination of the delivery, the orientation of the delivery box at the destination, the time of unloading the delivery box, the shelf life of the goods in the delivery box, Any restrictions on delivery times at the destination etc. must be taken into account individually or cumulatively.
  • the weight of the delivery box as a picking criterion can be derived by the control unit from the master data of the individual goods contained in the delivery box in conjunction with the dead weight of the delivery box.
  • the general approach will be to equip at least one delivery box with the desired goods for each customer to be served. Of course, several delivery boxes can also be picked for one customer. In addition, within the scope of the invention there is also the possibility of several customers sharing a (single) delivery box.
  • the orientation of the delivery box at the destination takes into account the fact that the delivery box in the frame can be removed from the loading area, for example from the driver's side or the passenger's side. Je Depending on the destination and its topological characteristics, depending on the destination and its topological characteristics, the orientation of the delivery box in the frame and thus at the destination is processed as a picking criterion depending on how the destination is topologically represented and whether removal from the driver's side or the passenger's side is best.
  • the time at which the delivery box is unloaded, the shelf life of the goods in the delivery box or any restrictions on the delivery time at the destination also play a role in picking and are therefore shown as the respective picking criteria.
  • the individual picking criteria can be taken into account individually or cumulatively, namely when creating the position occupancy plan for the delivery boxes derived from this with the help of the control unit.
  • the individual picking criteria are prioritized with regard to the driving dynamics of the delivery vehicle.
  • the procedure is usually such that, depending on their weight, the delivery boxes advantageously occupy a position closest to the center of gravity in the position allocation plan, starting with the highest weight. That is, the position occupancy plan is set up with the highest priority so that the delivery boxes with the highest or greatest weight occupy the position closest to the center of gravity in the position allocation plan.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that the delivery vehicle according to the invention has a position of the center of gravity when unloaded, which is particularly the case with an electric delivery vehicle and an unloaded loading area due to the batteries typically positioned below the loading area in such an electric delivery vehicle is centrally located behind a driver's cab, below the loading area and in the front area of the loading area.
  • This center of gravity is generally used as the basis for a driving test and the driving dynamics of the delivery vehicle are adapted to such a position.
  • the picking and the creation of the position occupancy plan for all delivery boxes is now carried out in the frame that is then positioned on the loading area in such a way that the delivery boxes with the highest weight are usually placed closest to the center of gravity on the loading area.
  • This picking criterion usually has the highest priority. In the example case, this corresponds to the delivery boxes with the highest weight being arranged in the front area of the loading area and on its floor. If this space is occupied or a large number of delivery boxes with a relatively high weight have to be transported, the position occupancy plan provides that these delivery boxes then occupy at least positions closest to the road in the position occupancy plan, that is to say they are arranged directly on the floor of the loading area.
  • Position occupancy plan the circumstance or the order of unloading of the respective delivery box as a picking criterion that also needs to be prioritized.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that, depending on the order in which they are unloaded, the delivery boxes advantageously assume their position in the position occupancy plan alternately to the right and left of a vehicle's longitudinal axis. This ensures that the delivery boxes are removed from the frame alternately to the right and left of the vehicle's longitudinal plane during the delivery process and subsequent unloading, so that there is no significant change in the position of the center of gravity and thus the driving dynamics of the delivery vehicle during subsequent operation.
  • the alternating arrangement of the delivery boxes to the right and left of the vehicle's longitudinal plane is of course not mandatory.
  • the delivery boxes can also be arranged on the driver's side or the passenger side in such a way that two customers can be supplied with the associated delivery boxes one after the other from the driver's side.
  • the delivery boxes alternately take their position on the right and left of a vehicle's longitudinal plane in the position allocation plan, depending on the order in which they are unloaded, situations are expressly avoided in which, for example, the delivery boxes are placed on only one side of the frame during a tour or a delivery process are, for example only on the driver's side or only on the passenger's side.
  • the delivery vehicle according to the invention will then not only be "at an angle" during the relevant tour due to the uneven weight distribution and thus asymmetrically load the chassis but it also worsens safety and driving dynamics becomes.
  • This is avoided according to the invention by taking into account the order of unloading of the delivery box in question as a further picking criterion to be prioritized, in addition to the weight of the delivery boxes, and is reflected accordingly in the position allocation plan.
  • the position allocation plan can - as already explained - be stored in the control unit at the picking location or in or at the goods distribution center of the goods dealer carrying out the goods distribution.
  • the position occupancy plan is stored in a mobile and/or vehicle-mounted control unit.
  • this mobile control unit can be a smartphone, tablet or the like, which is carried by the driver of the delivery vehicle. In this way, the driver is immediately able to use the position occupancy plan to implement the order of unloading the individual delivery boxes from the frame as specified there.
  • additional information for the driver regarding the destination any restrictions regarding delivery time and, for example, agreed delivery dates, etc.
  • the mobile control unit in question can also be stored in the mobile control unit in question in order to be able to provide the driver with comprehensive information about the delivery to be carried out, the customer, etc.
  • the mobile control unit in question can of course also be present in the delivery vehicle as a supplement or alternative, for example it can communicate with a screen that is already inside the driver's cab and display the position occupancy plan for the driver on it.
  • the position occupancy plan can also be available in paper form, so that in such a case the driver proceeds using such a paper-based printed list and processes the individual deliveries.
  • the frame is usually equipped with the delivery boxes at the picking location, i.e. in the goods distribution center.
  • the frame, equipped with the delivery boxes in this way according to the position occupancy plan, is then pushed as a whole into a transport frame on the loading area of the delivery vehicle.
  • This means that the loading area is advantageously equipped with the transport frame in question, which accommodates the frame.
  • the frame is usually releasably locked relative to the transport frame, so that the frame is held securely and immovably in the transport frame on the loading area during transport.
  • the frame In order to be able to properly load and move the frame in the goods distribution center, for example, the frame typically has transport rollers on the bottom and also drawers to accommodate the delivery boxes.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that the delivery boxes are generally any type of transport box for picking goods. Since, according to the invention, food goods are generally transported, the delivery boxes are designed to be closed, i.e. have a body and a lid that closes the body.
  • the body and the lid are usually made of a plastic and in particular foamed plastic in order to protect the goods contained inside, and in particular food products, from disruptive temperature influences.
  • such delivery boxes made of foamed plastics can be stored and transported in their respective drawers inside the frame in a particularly noise-dampening manner. Furthermore, such delivery vans made of foamed plastics are low in weight.
  • the drawers are advantageously attached to the frame transversely to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and, starting from the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, opposite each other in the frame.
  • the individual delivery boxes can be easily removed from the loading area from the driver's side or the passenger's side - as described.
  • the delivery vehicle according to the invention is usually equipped with a fixed roof or a fixed roof surface and has side and a rear curtain, which can easily be folded away to the side at the destination, rolled up or otherwise quickly removed in order to provide access to the frame and to make it available to the various delivery boxes.
  • the delivery boxes are finally equipped with at least one identification means.
  • the means of identification can simply be an imprint or a label, which, among other things, specifies the delivery order.
  • the imprint provides information about the delivery order, from 1 to 36.
  • the delivery order is of course not linked to a specific position of the delivery box in the frame. This means that the delivery sequence is specified by the position occupancy plan, which in turn reflects the occupancy of the frame with the individual delivery boxes.
  • the position occupancy plan which in turn reflects the occupancy of the frame with the individual delivery boxes.
  • the delivery vehicle according to the invention usually has a payload of more than 300 kg and usually even more than 500 kg up to 1,000 kg, 2,000 kg or even more, so that the customers to be served are predominantly located within a small radius of the goods distribution center, For example, within a radius of max. 50 km, so that in connection with the payload, electric delivery vehicles are predestined at this point and range problems cannot arise.

  • the invention also relates to a method for delivering goods and in particular food products in delivery boxes using the delivery vehicle described.
  • a delivery vehicle and a method for delivering goods using the delivery vehicle are provided, which provide particular advantages in terms of safety and ergonomics.
  • the invention ensures that the driving dynamics of the delivery vehicle usually do not change or only change insignificantly compared to the unloaded state due to the loading process with the delivery boxes and the unloading process. This dynamically favorable condition is maintained throughout the entire unloading process.
  • the removal of the delivery boxes reflects any special features at the destination. In the simplest case, this can mean that a customer whose destination can only be properly reached for unloading via the driver's side receives their associated delivery boxes because they have previously been arranged on this same driver's side as part of the position occupancy plan. As a result, the driver is not confronted with unfavorable unloading conditions, but unloading can be carried out in a particularly ergonomic way. This is where the main advantages can be seen.
